Cardiac abnormalities, in the first case, were suggestive of a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy while in the second hypotension and chronic bradycardia were present. [link.springer.com]

Left Ventricular Noncompaction

LVNC can be associated with other congenital cardiac abnormalities such as atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect, but it can occur in isolation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This type of idiopathic cardiomyopathy is caused by the intrauterine arrest of compaction of the left ventricular endocardial myocytes in the absence of other cardiac abnormalities [medscape.com]
